Development of digital animation as a learning media in primary schools

Abstract

Digital animation is an example of a concrete manifestation of a copyrighted work that combines computer applications in the multimedia field by combining images, text, audio, animation, and video so that it can modify a series of photographic images in such a way that they appear as if they are moving and making sounds and can become interesting story setting, especially for elementary school children. Also in modern times, digital animation can attract students’ attention and help them develop their understanding of certain subjects. One of the most important theories that reflects how people learn through text and illustrations is the cognitive theory which states that people store more verbal and visual information than students do through words. Digital animation can be used as an alternative learning medium that can be used to bridge learning to be more interesting and to provide a new environment for students. Media is very important to be present in learning to produce stimulation, activeness, new skills for students, and understand the real form of learning applications.
